Well, you sound kind of similar to me. I don't have people to share the fanfiction secret with and it's pretty terrible hiding it. :( But I have good friends on FF. Maybe you should mosey on over to my page; I'm JoMiSm. Link on my profile.

Fanfiction buddies, yay! :D

Yeah, I actually think you're a good writer though. Better than most college students, I'll bet. Thoughts flow, no punctuation errors, and you certainly have enough steam. Love, just keep going.

Unlike the other reviewers, I can't relate to this, but your essay did touch me. Right there in my heart. Really.

Please keep writing. If this is anything like your other work, then you don't know what you're talking about in terms of writing quality.

Oh, so many things that need said here...

First of all, I hear you about the anti-reality thing. It's an escape. A safe-haven, one that I often run to myself. Because you're right. People on FanFiction don't care.

They just care that they get to read about their favorite characters.

Which is what people like you and I give them.

Although, you really are a good writer, and I hope you post something new soon.

Really soon.

But, enough about that.

The essay is...just...so descriptive, although it again feels like you're describing me.

I don't know how you do it.

I really don't, but however you do it, please don't stop.

I find it liberating how I can relate to you with certain points of this. I have a feeling we'd get along if we were to ever meet )

I can relate to not being able to write anything non-fanfiction.

This is... kind of amazing, really. I KNOW that you wrote this- what, a year ago?- but, you only got three reviews? I'm really sorry that people are like this...

I suck too, though, along with everyone else.

'Writing' is definitely something I relate to.

It's crazy how much I can relate to you - seriously! I've always been the smart kid, the not-ugly but not-pretty kid, the secretive fanfiction writer, the hopelessly unfruitful non-fanfiction writer. Reading this makes me wonder how many other people are in the same boat as us. Maybe we're the only ones, but that's okay - at least now we can both say we're not alone, right?

All I can tell you from my own experience is that things will eventually get better - cliche, I know. I've spent nearly seventeen years in a slump only to just now find myself at the foot of the hill, and moving up. It's really, frustratingly tough. I think one day I'll be able to write something worth reading, and I think that you'll be able to as well. Keep trying; that's what I plan to do, anyway.

omg... when i was reading this, it felt like u were writing about me. seriously, it's like ur my twin or something. I daydream of "what ifs" in tv shows and anime because i can control what happens. And sometimes I rush to look at my inbox just to find no reviews.

Also, I do well in school like u and it prevents me from actually trying hard. I don't know how to give it my all when just a little bit of effort satisfies others. Sometimes I wonder why God made me like this. But all I know is that God doesn't make mistakes and he made me like this for a reason. It's probably to relate to how ur feeling )

I'd write more but I don't think reviews are generally long...

That's really understandable.

At least you do well in school.

I don't... But I shouldn't tell you this.

Anyways, nice work! I could tell it was written

right from your heart. You just poured it out

right? :)
